Chocolate Avocado Muffins

Posted: May 7, 2018

These Chocolate Avocado Muffins will be a new family favorite --- packed with chocolate deliciousness and healthy fat (hellllllllllllllllo, avocados!) and made with Horizon Organic milk, they're perfect for breakfast or an after-school snack.

I've paired avocado with chocolate before, in the form of fudgesicles.

And now I'm doing it in muffins.

It's a great way to add more nutrients --- and (ahem) to hide avocados from picky little eaters.

We don't always do dairy, but when we do... it's always organic, Horizon Organic to be exact! What does organic mean? It means: no growth hormones, no antibiotics, no persistent pesticides, and no GMOs.

Kids love "helping" in the kitchen --- yes, I know... I put that in quotes. They tend to make a few more messes, but it's usually worth the fun in the end! And they are more willing to try something they've helped make. They can stir in the chocolate chips (like Babycakes is doing in the pic below), or mash the avocado to get it ready for the batter. They can help measure out ingredients like flour and milk. They can crack open the egg.

They are capable of so much! And they'll love tasting their reward.

I usually put them into the tin myself. And press in a few extra chocolate chips to the top of each one.

They only take 20 minutes to bake. Easy peasy! And I love the addition of avocado --- we all need healthy fats in our diet, especially kids! And if yours are like mine (she refuses to eat any pieces or chunks of avocado), this is a great way to sneak serve it.

She and her friends had the MOST FUN laughing and devouring muffins in this video!

See just how easy they are to make (click play on video):

These are great for an after-school snack, served with fresh strawberries (and/or pistachios and cheese), or for breakfast. Make them on the weekend and then heat them up on busy mornings throughout the week!
